<p>To get informed about changes to the file or directory you are
monitoring, connect to the <a class="link" href="GFileMonitor.html#GFileMonitor-changed" title="The “changed” signal"><span class="type">“changed”</span></a> signal. The

 will be the old name and <em class="parameter"><code>other_file</code></em>
 is the new
name.  For "moved in" events, <em class="parameter"><code>file</code></em>
 is the name of the file that
appeared and <em class="parameter"><code>other_file</code></em>
 is the old name that it was moved from (in
another directory).  For "moved out" events, <em class="parameter"><code>file</code></em>
 is the name of
the file that used to be in this directory and <em class="parameter"><code>other_file</code></em>
 is the
name of the file at its new location.</p>
<p>It makes sense to treat <a class="link" href="GFileMonitor.html#G-FILE-MONITOR-EVENT-MOVED-IN:CAPS"><code class="literal">G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_MOVED_IN</code></a> as
equivalent to <a class="link" href="GFileMonitor.html#G-FILE-MONITOR-EVENT-CREATED:CAPS"><code class="literal">G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_CREATED</code></a> and
<a class="link" href="GFileMonitor.html#G-FILE-MONITOR-EVENT-MOVED-OUT:CAPS"><code class="literal">G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_MOVED_OUT</code></a> as equivalent to
<a class="link" href="GFileMonitor.html#G-FILE-MONITOR-EVENT-DELETED:CAPS"><code class="literal">G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_DELETED</code></a>, with extra information.
<a class="link" href="GFileMonitor.html#G-FILE-MONITOR-EVENT-RENAMED:CAPS"><code class="literal">G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_RENAMED</code></a> is equivalent to a delete/create
pair.  This is exactly how the events will be reported in the case
that the <code class="literal">G_FILE_MONITOR_WATCH_RENAMES</code> flag is not in use.</p>
<p>If using the deprecated flag <a class="link" href="GFile.html#G-FILE-MONITOR-SEND-MOVED:CAPS"><code class="literal">G_FILE_MONITOR_SEND_MOVED</code></a> flag and <em class="parameter"><code>event_type</code></em>
 is
<a class="link" href="GFileMonitor.html#G-FILE-MONITOR-EVENT-MOVED:CAPS"><span class="type">G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_MOVED</span></a>, <em class="parameter"><code>file</code></em>
 will be set to a <a class="link" href="GFile.html" title="GFile"><span class="type">GFile</span></a> containing the
old path, and <em class="parameter"><code>other_file</code></em>
 will be set to a <a class="link" href="GFile.html" title="GFile"><span class="type">GFile</span></a> containing the new path.</p>
<p>In all the other cases, <em class="parameter"><code>other_file</code></em>
 will be set to <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS"><span class="type">NULL</span></a>.</p>
